Welcome. My name is Christine, also known as Miss Balloon Heart. I ran Creating Exciting Balloon Memories, LLC, aptly named because that is what I was blessed to do. This blog is where I shared my journey in the balloon industry - it was quite a ride. I am thankful for all of the friends I made in the balloon world and from my business. Creating Exciting Balloon Memories closed in October of 2011. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

From 10:30AM - 11:30AM, Nadine will be leading an event for your children which is a combination of stories, singing songs and drumming. You are all invited to bring your children to release their energy on drums while you soak in some yummy snacks and beverages!

Immediately following Nadine, I will be twisting balloons from 11:30AM - 12:30PM.

*Be sure to ask the Hard Bean Cafe for a beverage card! After 10 punches in the card (one for each beverage you purchase) you will receive a free beverage (some limitations apply).

The picture at the top was taken by a wonderful friend of mine at the Boyertown Library Summer Reading Program Kick-Off event. Anytime I support this library, I am happy.

This week is calm on the balloon twisting front to allow my daughter, Butterfly Balloon, to attend drama camp. She is quite excited about the camp which is always a good thing.

My public event this week is my usual, fun, Wednesday night spot of Friendly's in Pottstown on Shoemaker Rd. I will be there from 5PM - 7:30PM.

As for the discount mentioned in the title....the next two booking requests for events in the month of July that I receive (via website, email or phone) that tell me "I read your blog and would like the discount" will receive a $20 discount off the total cost of your event for events that are booked for 1.5 hours or more. This must be a new booking request and for a July 2009 event. Please note that I will not be offering discounts in the months of August through December of this year, as I will be limiting my hours during those months to focus on family activities that we have planned.

Below are balloons I made this week... have a wonderful week, everyone!

For an explorer birthday party, this weekend.

The large flower that traveled with me this week.

A parody of a McDonald's fry guy.

A goofy, larger, gun. I can not say that I am a fan of guns but since they are made from balloons and all of my balloon guns shoot jelly or cookies, it does not seem so bad. This is only a small portion of one of Don Caldwell's designs, the Monkey Tron5000. I did make a Fish Tron5000 this week at an event but did not get a picture. Maybe next time.

At the first of seven Agora Cyber Charter School Showcase Events for this month being held at various Barnes and Noble locations....I was able to take a few minutes to take my camera out, get parent approval and capture some pictures. Aren't they cute?

Below is a story time that was offered by Agora with some children who already received balloons. Can you tell that I am having a wonderful time traveling with this client?Soooo much fun!
